The construction guy we passed on the way to L’s dc shared with how Amazon is building three enormous warehouses/distribution centers in Staten Island. He was excited and said how much he loved Amazon.

I didn’t say anything. But thought how soon we will all either work for Amazon in those distribution centers in some capacity, or be jobless on “guaranteed minimum income” buying everything to sustain and entertain ourselves from Amazon, and now I can’t chase these dystopian thoughts away.

Just imagine becoming the way you used to be as a very young child, before you understood the meaning of any word, before opinions took over your mind. The real you is loving, joyful, and free. The real you is just like a flower, just like the wind, just like the ocean, just like the sun.
